To Fix a Broken WordPress Installation

Enter phpMyAdmin for the database you used for WordPress. For more information, see Log in to phpMyAdmin.

Click the top menu on the left side, for example: blo11381542067.

Click wp_options.

Go to the Browse tab.

In the row containing the siteurl value, click Edit.

In the option_value field, delete your old URL, enter your new URL, and then click Go.

Go to the next page.

In row containing the home value, click Edit.

In the option_value field, delete your old URL, enter your new URL, and then click Go.

After clicking Go, the database updates. Your site should resolve normally.

If you installed WordPress with GoDaddy Hosting Connection®, the links in GoDaddy Hosting Connection still point to your old installation. As long as you update the links in the database, however, you can continue to upgrade your WordPress installation through GoDaddy Hosting Connection.
